Id rather have 30fps and be able to see that extra 20 miles than have 60 and it look like FSX🤔

[@flightsimulatoraddict9102]

I would put low visibility lol

[@vladimirmaglov1335]

what setting do you adjust to see more or less into the distance?

[@flightsimulatoraddict9102]

Vladimir Maglov the weather settings set it to low visibility

[@craigdavies4682]

I run custom settings based on the high end pre-set with lowered antistrophic filtering and some other stuff to stop my video card attempting to use more VRAM than it has. Which it will do if you let FS 2020 have its own way. A little example of how far I can see. Middle of the north sea off the coast of Norfolk (east of London) heading to France (Lille) I could see the French coastline from about 7000ft. Every other sim had a much lower draw distance. Stuff up close can still be a little bit fuzzy but I'm not running a 2080ti.

[@vladimirmaglov1335]

@@craigdavies4682 I manage to get 50fps with custom setting running i7-6700k and GTX1080ti. Looks like CPU is bottleneck here since it's at 100% while GPU is around 60-70%. Thing is... While bush flight missions when I try to zoom my view and see airfields in distance, they are all blurry until I come really close. This makes it hard to spot them early on and prepare for nice landing.

[@rahalwidanagamage]

I got a significant improvement in micro stuttering with these recommendations. Thank you ...

[@paulanderegg5536]

It's amazing how getting rid of the almost imperceptable stuttering can make the ganme feel soo soo much better and realistic!

[@JIMJAMSC]

To the new simmers this is one of the more sober examples of tweaking the sim. Be warned if you get into the addiction of finding that Holy Grail of settings it will slowly drive you mad. Throwing the latest greatest hardware at it is a sign of addiction. Then there are the countless placebo tweaks people swear by only to find out it does nothing or simply turned a setting down. If you catch yourself digging in the registry files you know you are hooked.

[@OverkillSimulations]

LMAO!!! All completely true!!!

[@jemand8462]

:D The registry files. I remember that from 15 years ago. You're absolutely right, it's kind of addicting without actually giving you a positive result like drugs.

[@rajakhan12346]

@@jamesm568 40-50 seems better .

[@jamesm568]

@@rajakhan12346 You can get those frame rates if you sacrifice visual quality as I rather have 30fps smooth then 60fps jerky. You can't tell the difference from 30fps to 100fps on flight sims anyway. This isn't a game.

[@jackyjakob]

On my notebook I started with a preset that gives me at least 30 FPS. I then manually tweaked it so that I get at least 40 but a maximum of 45 FPS. In Riva Tuner Statistic Server I then set a FPS limit of 30. This reduces the GPU load on my notebook to around 60 - 70 %. In moments where the game needs more performance the GPU has enough headroom so that I still get a very stable 30. It also has the benefit that the heat output on my notebook is much lower. 30 FPS with very consistent frame times at 33.3 milliseconds can feel smoother than 60 FPS with massive frames spikes. I tested some of the recommendations in this video but none of them seem to have a significant impact on the game performance. Disabling AF gets me only 0 - 2 FPS but has a significant impact on the texture quality. Especially textures viewed from a low angle get significantly more blurry.

[@fil1933]

I want to express how appreciative I am of people like you on youtube that make a video that is USEFUL, with tips that actually WORK, and not 50,000 ads in between. The microstutters are gone in my sim, and 40 fps doesn't feel like 20 anymore. Thank you sir, greetings from NY!

Any advice for locking your frames? Is it worth doing? This question is for OverKill, and the comments section. I appreciate everyone's advice. A really good video, with some superb advice. I also noticed the comments section is very healthy with good informative advice, and little to no poisonous remarks. Good on you flight sim community.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I honestly haven't found a reason to yet. You can "cap" it with VSync and adjust it down to 30... however, I really would test it and see how it works for you. For myself I always keep Vsync off unless I'm pushing MORE than 60hz consistently and developing screen tearing.

[@MrBillUp]

@@OverkillSimulations I have a G-Sync monitor so V-Sync is off natively. I did lock my frames from within Nvidia control panel to 60 and was getting roughly 45fps. I have a 1080p Ultrawide Asus Predator Monitor which has 144Hz refresh rate, so I would have had to lock the frames at 72fps, which sort of defeats the object. So I unlocked the frames. I didn't notice any discernible difference. I was intrigued by the second monitor, and ShadowPlay though. I think I have been dealing with that exact issue lol.

Great to hear!

[@speedy_von_gofast]

You can also lower your render scaling down to 80%, it can significantly boost your framerate. At 80% the difference in the image quality is barely noticable, but below that the render may become too blurry.

[@paulanderegg5536]

70% on 4K is roughly 1440p resolution...Ultra 4K at 70% runs smooth at 30fps with my 1080 Ti in most areas. I just use that slider to keep playing at Ultra...heh...adjust as needed!

[@sloppydog4831]

Well, thanks man! I have seen many fixes and solutions, but my system had too much stuttering and fps all over the place. Making the changes you showed at the start of the video , and putting the CPU at high priority made all the difference to me. Very good video.

Thank you so much for the guide! Just doing the tweaks before starting the game made a huge improvement in performance. I was regularly getting 30 FPS that would drop off into the 20's and teens. Now I consistently getting 40+ FPS with the occasional drop into the 30s! I found manually setting the programs priority to High under the task manager to be a very important step to see these numbers.

I'm running the same card here, but I think I'm CPU bottlenecked with my old AMD FX-8320 at around 20-25 fps. I've tried a number of things with no improvement. Fortunately, the sim is surprisingly playable at 20 fps. Heck, anything's better than a Link Trainer!

[@multifaceteddoall]

@@N1RKW For me it is the GTX that is limiting. My i7 4790 is capable. Even the game in-built frames counter is telling me that GPU is the limiting factor. 32 frames is average

@@multifaceteddoall - I suspect that your i7 is a much more capable CPU than my FX-8320. That being said, I tried watching the in-game hardware monitor (was using Fraps previously) and saw that it seems that both the CPU and GPU are slowing things down on my system. It also probably doesn't help that I only have 16 gb of RAM (never thought I'd say that!). I guess it's time for me to start saving up for an upgrade!

[@B3burner]

When in NVIDIA dashboard controller, I would definitely recommend either turning Anisotropic Filtering **OFF**, or **LET APPLICATION SET IT**. I really noticed extra blurry runway lines I couldn’t get rid of with that set to on.

[@SteelSkin667]

That's weird, as the blurry runway lines are a symptom of anisotropic filtering set to off.

[@B3burner]

SteelSkin667 >>> I think the key there- or what I meant to say- was turning off the A.F. at the NVIDIA end, but turning it on at the game (application) end- was more noticeably beneficial. At least for me. Maybe AF turned on at both ends at the same time cancels out or nullifies any benefit. I don’t know for sure... just a guess.

[@christianalvarado833]

I have tried everything that I watched in this video and other ones, and in mid-low end I am still getting 30-40 FPS with a GTX 1650Ti and a 10th gen core i5, at first I thought my hardware was very crappy, but when I watched performance videos of people playing MFS with an RTX 3090 and still not getting full FPS, I realized this sim still needs serious optimization.

[@hardcorehardware361]

@Christian Alvarado I have a 3090 and it still runs terrible. Its good I have Game pass because I wouldn't pay $180AUD for the full Game I can tell you that much. I considered a full yoke setup but I'm not spending $1000AUD to play a terribly optimised Sim.

[@dunxy]

Sure its not ideal as far as optimisation goes, its rare to find such a beast in any form of sim/game these days. It does like CPU a lot, so even having a top shelf GPU (like a 3090)is not enough by itself. The differences between medium and ultra in nearly all case are extremely minimal in terms of visual quality but create huge performance hits, tweaking is essential. Higher cpu clocks are also essential, more important than sheer number of cores and remember not all cpu's are created equal, older chips with weaker IPC will not perform the same as modern chips at the same clock. Things like the windows and nvidia power settings are one of the most important things, not changing these not only impacts performance but at least in my case, will even cause ctd. Aim for 5ghz ish on a modern cpu (like no older than last gen) to even think about not bottlenecking a top tier card like a 3080ti or 3090. Having at least 32gb of decent ram is also pretty important, 16gb is simply not enough. Lots of people think simply throwing a top tier gpu in a system that was only say medium spec a few years ago is enough, for some use cases it will not make much difference but not so in the case of this sim. Performance with an older 1080 is very good if its in a current high end system, but in an older system, especially one lacking ram, performance suffers greatly, especially micro stutters.

[@jmalmsten]

If DOF does anything like it is supposed to in a photographic sense.. then you will not see the effect at all if you have a wide angle lens and far off objects in focus with nothing in close. If you want to see depth of field in action you need to focus on something close up and see something in the distance go out of focus. Conversely you can focus on something in the distance and see something in close go out of focus. Depth of field says how much is in focus. And in general. you can say that at the point of focus you have an area that is one third close in focus and two thirds away from it in focus. That area, the full three third is the depth of field. And with a wide lens, lots of light and a tiny aperture. It's basically infinite and you won't see any blur no matter how high quality it is. But if you go to drone view, zoom in and get some foreground objects and even play around with the showcase camera settings. You can get it easily to a point where nothing is in focus.

[@dunxy]

DOF is apparently for external drone views only, so is totally for photogenic purpose and has nothing to do with anything else. I don't use external views so cant confirm but that is the word on the street.

[@MarioB87]

Great advice, the volumetric clouds were really draining. Now I followed your steps and set up the same flight you did in this video and fps count jumped from 42 to 52 fps with the rtx 2080 super on high end settings. What I also found that helped on my system is disabling any type of scaling both in nvidia cp and windows display settings. It tends to free up some calculating power from cpu

[@OverkillSimulations]

Ahh.. interesting thought. I'll try that as well and see what i get. I have 3 4k monitors all scaled to 150%. Thanks Mario!

[@bravocharlie24]

[@oneseventwoDE]

It's strange, but on my older rig i get the smoothest experience with my FSX settings: G-sync is turned off at all, Ingame v-sync off, Nvidia Inspector locked to 30fps, while Monitor is running on 60Hz, Stettings in MSFS between Medium and High. At this config I get out constantly 30fps with barely no stuttering, so thats ok for me. Intel i7-4790K, GTX1060 (6GB), 16 GB RAM, 2x250GB SSD Great vids, keep up your good work!

[@marcuse7141]

[@MrDj114422]

Also if you hit v for VFR map and click the middle button to pop it out in a separate window you can make the window smaller and usually gives me an extra 15-30 fps

[@gemster18]

I noticed that in the glass cockpit, if you hover over the PFD And hit the right Alt key and press the left mouse you can pop out the window, and your frames will increase a bit.

[@SteelSkin667]

That's a good methodology, helps with finding settings that work the best not just for individual people's hardware, but for their eyes. Personally I couldn't do without anisotropic filtering, it would bug me every time I look at the horizon. I also do use the render scaling option, but using values lesst than 100 to turn the resolution _down_ from 1440p. It helps a lot with a slower graphics card - in fact I wish they'd make that slider more granular, as it's 10 by 10, and would have to be set to 75% for rendering in 1080p on a 1440p screen.

[@keithhynan393]

i had no stutters on ultra, and flew very well over Manchester UK, so i put on the fps as you out lined in the video i was barely gettin 20fps. Vsync was the main issue and i run on 1080p monitor. Ryzen 7 2700x geforce 1080ti 11gigs ram, Ram 32 gigs ddr 4 3000mhz, SSD drive. When i turned vsync off it nearly double my fps - i was so shocked at that change. MS flight sim xx put everything on ultra when i fist installed - the game based it on my system et al. No matter what graphic settings i use other than vsync, has no affect on frame rates. Most important close down apps running in the background, it can kill your frame rate. Wow phoneix, the area around its magnificent, just lovely fields, oh my the mountains. I flew out from the above airport and got 36-7fps on ultra.

I have most my settings at Medium with a couple of them on High and I can maintain a smooth non-stuttering experience at around 30FPS with TracKIR. Hence, while your setup looks as smooth as butter I am surprised to see you have so many settings turned Off. I have both LODs at 100% as you do, but you do realise that Buildings, Trees and Grass do NOT alter the AMOUNT of each category but its quality/complexity.

@OverKill Texture Supersampling Off makes the runway look like I have 20/400 vision (and I used to before LASIK, so I know what it looks like) and am not wearing my glasses. Probably other places, too, but I was paying attention to the runway. At best, at least at the 1440p that I'm running, it costs 1-2fps, and that's being kind, I really don't think there was any real frame difference at all. It's hard to say with certainty because I don't have the HW for it in the first place to do any real testing, but I'm not sure my eyes would notice the diff between 1440p and 2160p (4K). I know I can tell the difference between 1440p and 1080p because I've accidentally run the sim at 1080p before. I'm running an i5-10600K, RTX2070 Super, my monitor is 32" and I watch from 2'-3' away. Volumetric clouds are essential to a realistic IFR experience, and again I don't really notice any measurable difference, especially when I'm in them, but even on the ground with overcast and rain it's only 3-4fps different. I get ~43fps+ on the ground in a complicated airport environment (172 with steam guages), 70-90 elsewhere. I was getting 115+ the other day inside the Grand Canyon. Using MSI afterburner for fps counter, I get the same "bug" if I have, say, an in focus ATC window open on my 2nd monitor (which is all by itself probably costing me frames, I think I'm going to play around with running it off of onboard graphics, especially since I can't get the CPU to run above about 65%, so I've got the headroom to do it), but as soon as I close it and go back to the sim, the measurement reverts back to the actual sim display, which matches the developer mode counter exactly, except it doesn't do tenths. Of course, who cares about tenths.

[@heavyDriver320]

Awesome work man!!!

[@Jigsaw407]

Aircraft traffic was my main cause for stutters. Huge improvement after switching that off. On the other hand, volumetric cloud settings have next to no impact for me. So keep in mind for everything that is said in this video: your results may vary!

[@Jigsaw407]

p.s.: also, some of the texture settings you will not notice in the air, but definitely when you are on the ground at airports or off airport. Make sure you test both in the air and on the ground to see the differences and if you like to have them at lower settings.

Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. I've got an 3.6ghz i7 processor and a GTX1080 and I won back about 10fps on average going through your step by step guide. One thing for me is that the volumetric clouds do look better on the high setting and maybe only cost me a couple of FPS, so I keep them on high. My only issue with the game is that the more complex planes are the biggest FPS killer. I guess my processor is the weakest link there.

Yeah I totally agree with what the video stated, FPS don't matter so much on this game, but it's the stuttering that's the killer. I'm on an ultrawide, and so don't want to lower to 1080p like you mentioned. I don't need 60fps, but if I drop below 50fps, I have to disable Freesync on my monitor, or else it gets bad flickering. I think it's to do with voltage in the monitors Freesync hardware module. I tried it Jays2Cents video, which helped improve fps a little, but didn't help with stuttering. Will definitely try the tips in your video when I can.

[@darrenberkey7017]

It's nice that the latest update fixed the stuttering, at least it did for me.

[@andreasscherf1736]

Great!!! Thank you very much for this Video and many greetings from Bavaria :-)

Great video. Lots of help. Thank you.

Glad it helped

You play with vortex ? Way you have set to pc and not to vr settings in Game ?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Not sure what Vortex is?

@@OverkillSimulations thanks for answer ! Please Tell me wath settings you have to msfs ?

I used to get smooth fps on my rtx2070s few days after released. Even in any big cities like new york, london+orbx, paris, los angeles. It was around 40fps in average set in ultra settings with a bit tweaks. Recently, I want more fps just because I want my terrain details set to 200. I sacrificed other settings to make my terrain looks good and made little tweaks in nvidia settings. Now even not in big cities my fps goes around 20fps which is unacceptable. I found this video and made changes still no luck. I even lower my settings still bad fps. The problem is few days back I got very good fps in ultra

[@Mulberry2000]

Yes i have the same issue

[@747-pilot]

Have you downloaded and installed the latest driver from Nvidia? They just released one on the the day FS 2020 got released.

[@azrysuimi3859]

@@747-pilot I did. Sim connect the culprit I guess

[@baldguyadventure]

Azry Suimi There was a known issue with SimConnect and they were working on a resolution. It was killing FPS

[@botbeats1]

Excellent!!! My frames are awesome now!

[@Opethian80]

Thanks for the video, how was this video shot, looks like it is coming out of a VR? How do you get this dynamic head movement over the dash?

[@OverkillSimulations]

I use a program like TrackIR

[@artoftheskies]

Excellent video!!! Thanks for the advice and troubleshooting! Maybe I can play FS more than tweak now lol!!!

Alot of gamers have entered the FlightSim world and all they do is complain; the game is not smooth, the controls are difficult etc . You must must be an Aviation enthusiast to appreciate any FlightSim. Dont just jump from GTA to MSFS2020 and expect it to be the same.

[@OverkillSimulations]

Absolutely agree!

[@MsTheCops]

Great channel ... I just subscribed. I need some advice please? I have an PC coming ...top of the line stuff ...I'm not certain if naming "brands" conflicts with your advertising agreements ...so I will not. I have 64 GB RAM ...an i9 10900KF ...water cooled CPU that is clockable from 3.7 to 5.3 GHz ... the card is a 2080 Super. The unit comes with a 1000 watt PSU ...with good cooling. I have three ...43" ...4K TV's ...I will use as a 3 screen display ...this is set up for Microsoft FS 2020. What can I expect & what can I expect if I add another 2080 Super.

[@johnmhartlove5573]

Just wondering what monitor you are using? 4K TV? Please let us know. I'm in the market for a new one. thanks

[@imellor711]

Hi, I think something else is going on in the game and Microsoft are limiting or locking frames. As you notice the frames stay similar flying over the see as on land, looking or flying in any direction. So, start a flight up anywhere in the world and have the Msfs2020 FPS tool running. Then go back into your Msfs2020 game settings and go the data options and play with the TOP data on and off option and look at you FPS counter it shoot up as the change is being applied and then goes back to the same frame rate as before and turn it back on. The same thing with FPS happens again....until thecchanges have been applied and similar frame count again. I think the game engine is throttling FPS, may be because the game has to load parts of the game over the internet and not so much a GPU problem itself..... give it ago yourself.....

[@quantomic1106]

Yes, Asobo really needs to optimize the clouds. I got a 3080 12Gb, i7-1100K with 64 Gb of RAM. My rig eats up any graphic settings but once I bump up the clouds, I get a slide show and sometimes a crash. I think there's really something wrong with the code behind the clouds.

[@hahtos]

Gotta try some of these tricks. I have i7 6700K and RTX2800 with 32gigs of memory.I had horrible stuttering and low FPS over cities even on medium settings. I noticed that I had HT turned off. After turning it back on the game has been running smooth. Hopefully I can get additional fps from these.

[@franshartman4378]

wird klap, good question, what the heck is HT?

[@dunxy]

You guys literally just buy a pc the day before making these comments? HT=hyperthreading. As for the stuttering mr op, id say your cpu is probably the limiting factor of your setup. When this came out i was still running an old sandy bridge xeon on socket 2011(highly overclocked with water cooling and 32gb of fast ddr3 in quad channel) with a gtx1080, when 1080 came out my numbers were within a few % of say your cpu so was little cause to upgrade then. This game though ran pretty bad, being well due for motherboard, cpu and ram upgrade i went for a ryzen 5900x with 32gb ddr4 and the stuttering was completely gone, since upgraded my gpu as well but honestly even with the rather dated old 1080 the performance change was dramatic, this game needs cpu and it craves high clocked cores over threads, so if your running stock clocks you may want to overclock, chances are you are overclocked because you have a k sku and no reason to buy a k if not cranking that multiplier for essentially free performance!

[@rogelioyutube]

Thanks. My rx570 can now relax.

[@richardPalmisano]

What can I do about shimmering on buildings not even in the air just sitting inside the plane at airport and noticed some shimmering blur effects what settings can I go into to try to fix this I have a rtx 3080 and if my monitor is equipped with FPS counter can I use that without frame drop dropped using it from the monitor

[@benjaminzupan232]

Is there anything new I should know relative to the latest version of MSFX before I start tweaking? Stated differently, should I skip or do anything differently now vs. when you made this video over a year ago? Have you learned anything new which would require edits to the video?

[@dy8576]

for peeps with processors having cores= threads id recommend turning threaded optimization to off in the nvidia control panel 3d settings.It made the game very playable for me.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I'll test that and add it to the list!!

[@r-mackphotography6424]

Might have to try that one - I’m running a Ryzen 9 3900, 2070s and 32gb of ram and often find that msfs runs like crap!

[@dy8576]

@@r-mackphotography6424 the game has weird anomalies lol i get lower fps at lower settings than at a decent setting

[@stefandominitzki]

Great video. But what is about the cache ? I think it has influence on the performance too. But maybe i'm wrong.

[@jaystationconsolegaming1578]

When I do the nvidea control panel part, I go to manage 3D settings > program settings then click on the drop down menu to select program to customise but there isn’t any Microsoft flight sim program in the list?

[@badboybubby375]

Did you buy and download from Steam as I had the same problem ,no FS in list of programs.

[@gerrymazzei]

This was an excellent video for those of us that do not understand computers as well as others. I am wondering if there is some setting (other than sensitivity) that you can use for controllers. I use a Thrust master T16000M and cannot get proper rudder rotation.

[@dunxy]

May need to calibrate your stick, i had one of these in the past and rudder was prone to being out of whack and all i had to do was run calibration to fix it.

[@10Exahertz]

Pls do this in the airliner cockpits. The GA give me no problem with any settings. The Airliner cockpits (747, 78x, and A320) all seem capped at 30 fps in cockpit only. I dont get why all these tests are done on the GA, they all run like butter.

[@OverkillSimulations]

Many people are having issues even with the GA aircraft. Whenever you're doing testing of this nature, you start with the minimum requirements. The more advanced aircraft and systems are going to cause a heavier load. As I stated in the video, this is a methodology of troubleshooting that can be applied to any aircraft. I made it clear to everyone NOT to following my settings but following my way of testing so you can find the best solution for you and your configuration. That includes the aircraft you wish to fly. Also, we are already aware that the airliners are not well optimized and are causing a major fps hit.

[@10Exahertz]

@@OverkillSimulations Hey man thanks for the vid. Yeah everyones sys is different since Volumetric Clouds on Ultra doesnt hit me too hard tbh (or maybe it does and I need to check). But even at 35,000 ft the A320 cockpit doesnt seem to be poorly optimized, it seems to be fps locked. It stay at exactly 31 fps, no matter low or Ultra settings meanwhile outside the cockpit you see the expected 40+fps shift from ultra to low. The 787 stays at 21 fps, with 25 fps on Low. Just interesting, clearly a bug. I was just curious to see if you found a work around since I get 40 fps in GA on high-end. But yeah if people are having issues with the GA this is more useful.
